UNDER the heading of "They Never
Strike" an exchange gives the follow
ing, which will be read with profit by
all laborers.
There is one class of laborers who
never strike and seldom complain. They
get up at five o'clock In the morning
and never go back to bed until eleven
O'Clock at night. They work without
ceasing the whole time, and receive no
other emOlument than food and the
plalnest clothing. They understand
something Of every branch Of economy
and labor, from finance to cooking
Though harassed by hundred responsi'
bilities, though driven and worried
though reproached and looked down
upon, they never revolt, and they cannot
organize for their own protection. Not
even sickness releases them from their
posts. No sacrifice Is deemed too great
for them to make, and no incompetency
In any branch of their work Is excused
No essays or books Of poems are written
In tribute to their steadfastness. They
die In the harness, and are supplanted
as quickly as may be. These are the
housekeeping wives Of the laboring men

A REPUBLICAN committee of the Re
publican Legislature Of Connecticut has
reported faVOraDly solution declar
ing that the federal taxes on imported
lumber, coal, iron, wood. salt and COP
per ore are an injury to the interests OF
Connecticut, and that they should be re.
pealed. This embodies MFR. Hewitt's
plan Of free raw material In the interest
Of American manufactures. The New
York Times comments:
These taxes are an injury, not only To
the interests Of Connecticut, but to those
Of the whole country, and particularly
to the manufacturing interests. They
make manufactures Of almost every
sort more costly, and they add to the
cost of living while reducing the wages
OF workingmen. These truths, that are
as obvious as that two and two make
four, and not FIVE or three, have been
generally recognized by Intelligent stu
dents for many years, but they have, 80
far as possible, been kept secret from
the Republican voters. That they should
now be ind0rsed by q Republican com.
mittee In q manufacturing State is an
i'll omen for those who have been bank
Ing on the continued ignorance and
gullibility OF the manufacturing com.
munitieH.

mt n: Of Postmaster Mayo. Appointment
Democrat has recently received tho fol-
lowing frank letter from Postmaster
General Villas on the subject:
l am right sorry that your judgment
does not go with US In the Turner'S Falls
appointment. Yet II there was case
In MI slachusetts where reappOintment
was exceptionally due, certainly recOg-
niZa In the Turner'S Falls case the ele-
ments requiring 1t. Mr.. Mayo has been
postmaster since the Office was establish
ed, always an exceptionally good post
master, rendering excellent service,
always free from partisan activity or
any exhibition of political feeling, an
old soldier dlsabled In the war, cordially
recommended by some Of the most prem
inent Democrats and by q large proper
tiOn CT the business men. To these add
that be took his tenure Of Office In his
hand In 1884 In discharge Of his con-
scientiOus conviction as citiZ5n and
voted for the President. II anybody
were to be reaDpolnted 1t seems to me
that principle favored this man. only
recall these things to your attention to
show that at least there are strong
points In support Of the reappOintment.
You know 1t is always me 81 pleasant to
be In full accord with your views; but
In those cases when we do not agree
with you we hope to keep In accord with
you by having you agree with us.
01 the head Of this we would like
some one In authority to explain why 1t
is that old George Il, 81 Bydsr az Mspleton
ia this county was removed. He faith
fully served ss postmaster fer many
years b the satisfaction of every one.
The change was not on account Of poll

GENERAL BADEAU has just published
letter written by General Grant In the
fall Of 1883. which betrsys keen In
sight into the tendencies that even then
threatened the defeat of the Republican
party In the Presidential campaign OF
che following year. After contradict
Ing p rnmOr that he had formed a com.
binatiOn with Blaine, by which the lat.
ter was to be made President and Grant
Senator from New York, he said:
"The Republican party can MT be
saved, If II Is to be saved at all, by tricks
and combinations Of politics. The Re-
publican party, to- be saved, must have
a decisive declared policy. 1t has now
no observable policy except to peddle
out patronage to soreheads, In order to
bring them back into the fold, and avoid
any positive declarations upon all lead
Ing questions"
With the exception of having no pa
trOnsge now to Deddle. the Mugwump

HEATING FOR THE NEW SCHOOL
BUlLDIS G.

The specifications for the five new
school buildings which the Board Of
Education has decided 10 erect include
the Ruttan smead system of hot air
heating, The board would do well to
exercise considerable caution before
committing itself irfcyOtably to that
system. The circumstances under which
the Ruttsn-Smead Eystem was adopted
for the Eagle STREET building III this
city were far from cFeditable to the
regulations Of certain members of the
board, and 1t Is claimed by those who
are In position to know that the huild
ing is very imDerfectly heated. II Is
also a matter Of evidence, known to
some members # the board. that hot air
heating has been condemned and
abolished In many schools and
other public buildings. The very
system adopted for the five schools b.,
erected has been condemned and re
moved from The Iowa State Agricultural
College, the Green Opera House at Cedar
Rapids and school buildings at Bnrling-
ton, Ia, Omaha, Neh., Bushnell, ILL.,,
FOstOrla o., and other places. A chOOl
building at Fort Dodge, Ia, was burned
through imperfect hot air CONNECTIONS
The same system was adopted for some
Of the Chicago school buildings few
years ago, but has been removed from
them all. The Cleveland Board has had
great deal Of trouble In recent years
In securing the proper heating Of its
buildings, and 1t should ba careful not
to introduce system OF heating that Is
very generally condemned In theory and
that In practice has been found to be
unsatisfactory or dangerous. The hest
authorities recommend steam heating
for school building .-[CIeveland Leader.
The above Is inserted by request, as
our new central school is heated by the
Ruttan-Smesd system. The writer of
the Leader article has certainly not in.
vestigated the system, otherwise he
would not go condemn 1t as ne does. OF
course 1t heats with hot air, but ample
provision is made flr ventilation, and
this. II Is claimed, makes it the best
heating apparatus r. existence.

A FATHER DESERTS HIS CHILD.
superintendent Frazer Takes Charge OF the
Little Ones


Superintendent Frazer Takes Charge of the
Little One.
A sad case Of child desertiOn and cru
city was learned of to-day from Charles
B. Frazer, Superintendent of the
Humane Society. Three weeks ago a
man by the name Of George Cook, Of
Holmes county, left the County Infirm-
ary there, taking with him three year
old son, and walked from there here
with the child, distance Of over forty
miles. The weather at that time was
very cold and when Cook arrived In
Canton the child was almost frozen,
being very thinly clad. He stopped In
at John Aliens restaurant at Tenth and
Cherry streets. The condition Of the
child was such that Mr.. Allen took him
to his home, where he hts since been
kindly cared for. The father said that
he had broken his leg some months ago
and being reduced to poverty the fam ly,
consisting Of wife and two children,
were taken In charge by the directors of
the Inf1rmary. When Cook was able to
leave he stole the little son from the In
stitutiOn, leaving the mother and q
small child to the care OF che Institution.
Cook was former resi- ent Of this city,
having been employed at the Barnett
House, during Mr.. Rothacker's admins
tration he secured employment here,
but worked only few days and then
went on spree on the money he earn
ed. Over week ago he loft the city,
deserting his child. Mr.. Allen reported
the case to MT. Frazer, who Immediately
SCI to work to Investigate the case and
find home for the little one. He wrote
to the Holmes County Intirmary Super
intendent, and to-day Mr.. A. G. Purdy,
that official, and Mr.. Harvey, one Of the
Directors, came to Canton and Mr.. Fra
zer turned the child over to them, The
little one will be placed In the Wayne
County Children's Home, there being no
such institution Ia Holmes county. Mr.
Close said the mother Of the child was
left peDnilts3 with a little infant. The
Whereabouts Of the father is unknown.

pretty clearly that he will veto the high
license bill should II reach him. In
his message returning the bill referred
to be says: "Ths excise laws should
be substantially uniform in all parts
Of the State, and special laws should
not be passed discriminating for or
against particular localities" This Is
precisely what the New York high H.
cense bill does. At first 1t applied to
the whole State, but 1t was subsequently
modified to take In New York and
Brooklyn alone, leaving low license
applicable in other cities.
